Best Borg drones

Which Borg Drones had the best look:

• The TNG-Version - Where they all have a somewhat unique, mismatch appearance that varied by Drone (possibly due to intended function)
• The Voyager/FC version - Where all Drones have a (mostly) identical appearance that isn't effected by the function it is intended for

Well, the drones in First Contact all had interchangeable parts (I believe it was 6 main bodysuits) so that they could create different sorts of drones relatively easily. Tough call, as FC stuff arose out of TNG

Well, drones are drones, it doesn't matter much about how they look as much as they perform, but Borg just look cool in general.

The drones in TNG were just pale, nothing more. They were quite boring imo.
I like the Voy/FC-drones best.

Yeah...the drones became much cooler once they got assimilation tubules and started looking badass.

the best looking drone ever was the badass one you had to fight in elite force 2.  it was much bigger and had weird energy wave weapons.

The best looking drone was Seven of Nine  . I also like the ones from FC more, they were not just walking cablesuites. There were also assimilated Klingons and other species, what made them more different from each other.

I'm surprised that no one has brought up the argument that the ones from TNG were borg stranded(meh) in the alpha quadrant.  It explains why the cube looked the way it did and the drones suits were sparsely made.

/agree

Jerry Ryan......mmmmmm  lol.  I remember when Voyager was running new episodes and she starred in the show......it made it a lot more watchable. lol

Then how would that explain the very first Borg encounter (in "Q Who"), which occurred in the Delta Quadrant? And besides; the cube at Wolf 359 was linked to the collective (as indicated in FC when this queen revealed the connection to Locutus).

You guys just like seven because of her gender. Besides, she looked a lot more pleasant after they removed her implants. Anyway, I think it would be more interesting if they made the drones more individual because despite each drone not having individuality, the drone's body is different for its supposed function. Such as workers, repairing, ops, fighting, assimilation, research, so on.
